    Oh, one Luigi damaged your world? Institute health care reform, or we’ll send dozens of them, one after the other!

    God. How was SG1 so damn good? Every few years I do a rewatch of the whole franchise. It’s a masterpiece.

      Trek is my usual background show but I’m currently on a SG1 rewatch. It’s funny to see so many people from Trek show up in various roles, I think Hammond of Texas would fit perfectly as a statue in front of Starfleet Academy as a model of humanity’s ideals regarding exploration of the stars. Given access to advanced healing technology, both O’Neill and O’Brien would be busting heads to ensure everyone got a fair shake, they’d both despise a CEO like this one

        My theory is that once you have a role as a main character in Star Trek, you’re pretty much stuck in sci fi. The exception to this is if you were already a well established actor prior to Trek. So Patrick Stewart could go back to high theatre, but Colm Meaney ended up mugging Atlantis for a little C4.

          Ha! I’d forgot about that one, my favorite role of his outside engineering was the DEA asshole in Con Air who gets his sweet Corvette stolen in epic fashion

          I think the Venn of actors doing sci fi shows and actors in the Vancouver area is pretty close, same with how every British show has at least one person from another. Some obviously like the genre, and who wouldn’t?
